Default IAT sensor for after intercooler?

Hey guys, since my IAT is in the MAF, what are you all using that will work with the factory wiring?

I know I will need to cut the two wires from the MAF to wire into it, but I see tons of different IAT sensors on Amazon. Some labeled open element and some closed element.

Part numbers would be cool too. I do know it needs to be a two wire.

Curious about this as well. I know if you are going sd then you have to have this but if you simply want more accurate readings, can you just cut the wires from the maf that measure the temp and rewire them to this sensor and put it right before the throttle body?

Nope. It works just like a factory sensor. Take the two wires off the maf and run them to the new sensor.
